Chapter 53: Refugee Flows

These days, there are some people with their wives and children from Henan to the south, through Wuyang Pass to De'an Mansion, Wuchang Mansion and other places, at first no one has paid attention, and then there are more and more refugees, tens of thousands of people on the periphery of Anlu County, as a civil official, Sun Shirui did not think much about it, and let the refugees into the city, but Anlu County was overcrowded all of a sudden, there were refugees everywhere, and the number was still increasing, and then Sun Shirui had no choice but to close the city gate and let the refugees who came later stay outside the city.

So many people came at once, and they couldn't let these people starve to death, Sun Shirui set up porridge sheds inside and outside Anlu City, so as to avoid refugees from rioting, but there were too many people in the city, all kinds of stealing chickens and dogs, fights and brawls happened from time to time, and they were repeatedly banned, not to mention that Anlu County originally had more than 100 people, for a county, this number was already very much, but it was still not enough, and public security became a big problem. Now that there is such a concentration of refugees, like an active volcano, it can erupt at any time for some reason, and then it will be impossible to clean up.

On the other hand, what makes Sun Shirui melancholy is the food problem, the rations consumed by tens of thousands of people every day, no matter how frugal he is, even if it is a clear water porridge that can't stand up with chopsticks every day, it will consume his 300 stone of grain, but the total amount of grain stored in the county is only 5,000 stone, that is, it can support half a month at most.

Encountering such a headache, Sun Shirui of course unceremoniously found Qin Yiming, he knew that Qin Yiming was a rich man, with money and food in his hands, and only Qin Yiming could help him tide over the difficulties.

"What? 300 stone a day? Where do I have so much food, you really think of me as a local tyrant! Qin Yiming became excited as soon as he heard this, this is not how to kill a rich man, he really regrets paying homage to Sun Shirui.

Sun Shirui came over with a hippie smile on his face, and scolded Qin Yiming: "Brother, from the perspective of righteousness, these people are the people of my Ming Dynasty, as a thousand households of the Ming Dynasty, you can't watch your people starve to death, and you watch them starve to death, and if you don't give them a bite to eat, you are not afraid that they will make a civil uprising, and there will be another Eight Kings King Chuang Wang and others; To the smallest, we worshiped the target at the beginning, and said that we would share the blessings and share the difficulties, not to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but to die on the same day and month of the same year, and now my brother is in the fire and water, is it that my brother is watching the fire from the other side, and he will not save him when he sees death? ”

Sun Shirui said and got angry seriously.

Qin Yiming looked at Sun Shirui, complained bitterly in his heart, and said: "I said brother, I have only saved grain for a year, you know our thousands of households, how much grain can be there, I can take out 20,000 stones at most, but there are so many people, 20,000 stones are not enough, or find a way to settle these people as soon as possible is the fundamental way." ”

"I also know this, the harvest in Henan is not good, and it is normal to have some refugees, but why are there so many this year, I am also very strange, but they are all here, what can I do, you take 20,000 stones out and use it first, even if it is borrowed by the eldest brother, I have already reported to the Governor of Huguang, Lord Fang, and the court will definitely have a decision at that time." Sun Shirui said.

"Okay, I'm bleeding mold!" Qin Yiming complained, and Sun Shirui breathed a sigh of relief.

After Qin Yiming brought two hundred guards to Anlu County, the security of Anlu County was greatly improved, but there are still crimes happening, this Qin Yiming has no choice, there are still not enough people, the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and there are many people, all kinds of things.

Qin Yiming walked out of the yamen and was about to go to Xu's Mansion to find Xu Zhen'er to catch up with the past, but halfway through, he was attracted by a few scoundrels on the corner of the street.

"Go away, go away, you scoundrels." An old man beat him with a wooden stick, perhaps because he was too old or too weak to look weak, which caused the scoundrels to laugh. Next to the old man, an unkempt but good-looking woman lowered her head in fright and hugged herself tightly with both hands.

"Haha, such a sign of the little lady, follow me, how good it is to eat and drink spicy food in the future, why suffer on the streets, old man, I will give you three steamed buns, and you sell your granddaughter to me." A scoundrel squatted down and said, his eyes looking directly at the old man's granddaughter.

"Dream, I'm not selling, get out of here!" The scoundrel didn't pay attention, and was hit on the head by the old man's crutch, bulging a big bag, and his face began to turn black, and he kept screaming pain.

When a few scoundrels next to him saw this scene, they shouted: "Grandma, in Anlu, you actually dare to beat our eldest brother Zhang Xiaoshe, and don't inquire, our eldest brother is a tyrant in Anlu, who doesn't give some thin noodles, you don't know what to do, big brother, why be polite to this dead old man, take a fancy to this girl, the little brother will just wash it and send you to bed!" Just big brother, you are benevolent and righteous, and you will exchange white steamed buns! ”

The leading brother named Zhang Xiaoshe rubbed his head and scolded angrily: "How can this be reasonable, give me a shameless face, give me a beating, cheap **, refuse to follow me, Lao Tzu will sell you to Qinglou Liu's mother, let you be ridden by 10,000 people." Zhang Xiaoshe ordered while going to catch the old man's granddaughter.

The old man screamed when he was beaten, his head was bleeding, and the girl shouted for help.

When the road is uneven, the duck roars, and when it's time to shoot, shoot it!

The big bull with blood and qi didn't wait for Qin Yiming's order at this time, so he rushed over directly, only to see him divide five by two, and beat those scoundrels one by one so that they couldn't get up. Zhang Xiaoshe, who was about to shout just now, Da Niu also rewarded him with two additional stumps, which made the person scream, and his voice was simply reverberatory, and everyone who listened could feel how painful he was at the moment.

"You...... What the hell are you, nosy, you have a kind of ...... for Lao Tzu Let go, I'm going to gather my brothers to come and kill you! Zhang Xiaoshe was still shouting, but his head was sitting on a stool by the big cow, and when he came out to mix, it was really a duck that died and had to be hard.

"Oh, you still have someone? How many people? Qin Yiming was interested, and he was not in a hurry to do anything about this little weak chicken.

"Lao Tzu waved his hand, at least two hundred brothers can be called in Anlu here, haha, I'm afraid!" Zhang Xiaoshe shouted.

"Brother Zhang Xiaoshe, right, the three of us passed by, it didn't matter pleasing to the eye, today this matter will be taken care of, you tell your brother to find someone, we will wait here, it's better to call a little more, my two brothers are very capable of fighting!" Qin Yiming joked.

"Young master, you also believe the words of this little scoundrel, send ......" Before the little monkey finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qin Yiming, Qin Yiming said: "Believe, I think this Brother Zhang is a little capable, today we have refuted the face of others, and give a chance for people to get back to the field, otherwise wait for us to leave, this crowd of people, where will he go to find his face, how will he be a big brother in the future!" Qin Yiming's words seemed to be mocking, but everything was said in Zhang Xiaoshe's heart, if he couldn't get this face back, how would he raise his head to be a big brother in the future.

"A few of you, don't call people yet, call all your brothers on weekdays, people don't come enough to see, see how Lao Tzu cuts you in the future!" Zhang Xiaoshe said viciously.

Qin Yiming waited for less than half an hour, and sure enough, more than two hundred scoundrels came.

"Damn, the security of this Anlu is really poor, there are so many little splashes!" Qin Yiming said with emotion, looking at the scoundrels who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and laughed happily.
